D-backs targeting INF Aubrey Huff
Seeking a left-handed bat to platoon with either Goldschmidt or Johnson, it apparently hasn't taken long for general manager Kevin Towers to reach out to an available veteran.
In need of a backup corner IF, #Dbacks have made contact with Aubrey Huff, source said.— Jack Magruder (@JackMagruder) December 1, 2012
Huff, a 12-year veteran, is very familiar with the NL West, having played the past three-plus seasons with the San Francisco Giants. Although the former fifth-round selection has won two World Series rings with the Giants (2010 and 2012), Huff's numbers have dramatically decreased over the past few seasons.
In 2011, he finished last among NL first baseman in OPS (.676), and saw his batting average (.246), home runs (12), RBI (57) and walks (47) all take significant dives from the 2010 season.
Last year in San Francisco, Huff began the season as Bruce Bochy's opening day left fielder, but injuries and a lack of production (.192 batting average, one home run and seven RBI), reduced him to a minor role during the Giants' championship run.
As a Giant, Huff has made a living against the Arizona pitching, hitting .321 with seven home runs and 22 RBI.

Heather Shields was thrilled when she got the opportunity to dance with the famous Joffrey Ballet School in New York City. At 11 years old, she dreamed of one day becoming a professional ballerina, and this trip would bring her dream a little closer. A long way from home for this California girl, Heather traveled with her family to the "Big Apple" for the month of July. During that month she remembers dancing six to seven hours a day in the heat of the summer. She began losing weight, but shrugged it off, assuming she'd caught her mom's stomach bug.

"Entrance" is the collection of causes and conditions that lead to cessation of past, cessation of future and cessation of present.
Kind regards
This is one root of your various misunderstandings. Cessations cannot be caused nor conditions. Causes and conditions do not lead to cessations, they only lead to further causes and conditions. A cessation is the absence of causes and conditions.

Oh, where to begin on Sunday night's 34-31 loss in New England, where the Broncos blew a 24-0 lead at halftime and eventually lost to Tom Brady and the New England Patriots in overtime.
Not only does the loss hurt the Broncos as the American Football Conference's playoff picture is so very tight this year, it just sucks to lose to Brady, Rob Gronkowski and that walking hoodie, Bill Belichick. Under most circumstances, I would usually write some longwinded rant about how the Patriots got lucky or how Tom Brady's postgame sweater was actually on the clearance rack in Wal-Mart or how slobby Belichick looks in a cut up hoody.
No, I don't need to do that here. The Patriots stuck with their game plan, despite being down by 24 points following a disastrous first half of football. Brady stayed calm (except when freaking out on an official) and led his team to victory in overtime. And while the Patriots should get the credit they deserve for winning that game, there were Broncos mistakes that were major factors in turning the game around for the Patriots.
First, Broncos cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie hurt himself on the final play of the first half when he dove for a Tom Brady hail Mary desperation pass as time expired. I understand it was his defensive back instinct to dive for an interception but that one was stupid. He drove his shoulder into the ground in doing so busted himself up enough so he couldn't return to the game. The possibility that this would have been an interception was slim. The chance of Rodgers-Cromartie actually returning it for a touchdown was even slimmer. I know it was a reaction but it was a stupid reaction and it changed the game.
"I would say it definitely hurt us," Broncos cornerback Chris Harris told the Associated Press.
When Brady came out onto the field after a halftime ass chewing by the Hoodie, he knew right away that Denver's secondary was hobbled with Rodgers-Cromartie on the bench. Without him, the Broncos had to switch from man coverage to zone, thus hurting the pass rush that gave the Broncos the 24-0 lead in the first place. Without a pass rush, Tom Brady can make you pay. Of Brady's 344 yards of passing, 263 of those came during the second half.
The Rodgers-Cromartie injury was the biggest turning point in the game for the Broncos and it was a turning point that didn't have to happen. The second-biggest turning point in the game came just before Rodgers-Cromartie got hurt when Broncos punt returner Trindon Holliday muffed the punt and handed the ball over to the Patriots. Because of that lost fumble and because Holliday is, frankly, Mr. Butterfingers, Broncos interim head coach Jack Del Rio made Wes Welker the Broncos return man for the rest of the game.
Now I know Welker is a seasoned veteran of the game and that he's sure handed when it comes to catching and handling the ball but every time he went back to return a punt, I was nervous as hell. In a tight, dogfight of a game between two of the best AFC teams, having Welker returning punts just didn't seem right. Of course, in the end it was Welker's miscommunication on a punt return late into overtime that effectively gave the Patriots the field position to win the game with a field goal. I just don't understand why Welker was back returning punts. The Broncos have that guy on the squad for two reasons: Third and seven situations and third and goal situations. That's it. Welker is not our return man.
The problem here is that our return man is Trindon Holliday. Yes, he's exciting and he's got speed to return one here and there. But, as we saw on Sunday night, he's a liability. He's a liability that a high-powered offensive team like the Broncos don't need. Yes, we love a 96-yard return here and there. But we don't need it. The Broncos have Peyton Manning who, in case you haven't noticed, can score a hell of a lot of points. What we need is a return man who can secure the football. It's plain and simple. I don't care if the guy is the slowest in the league. If he can catch a punt and do it over and over again, he will fit into the Broncos system.
Trindon Holliday does not fit into the Broncos system. He fails at handing the ball over to Peyton Manning's offense. Holliday should be cut, just like the Houston Texans did not too long ago. Holliday, in this tight playoff race, is just too much of a liability. Who can the Broncos go to? I don't know. But I have to believe there is someone out there who can catch a punt. It's the damned N.F.L. for goodness sakes. Get a pro who can catch a punt.
In the end, the Broncos matched the biggest collapse in their history, according to the AP. It was back in 1988 when the Broncos blew a 24-0 lead against the Raiders in a 30-27 overtime loss.
As the Broncos move forward, the number one thing they can do to improve their team is find a sound punt returner. All of the other pieces to a successful puzzle are in place. It sounds like Rodgers-Cromartie will be back for this week's huge game against the Chiefs. It also sounds like tight end Julius Thomas will be returning as well. Running back Knowshon Moreno was listed on Tuesday as day-to-day with an ankle injury.
There's not a lot of positives to say about the Broncos following the loss to the Patriots. It was a terrible, terrible loss that will haunt Bronco fans for years to come. It's one of those that stings over and over.
On the other hand, I always believe that if you are going to face a very good team like the Patriots in the playoffs, it's almost better to lose the regular season game. That loss can often give a team the edge to win the second game. It's likely the Broncos would have to face Brady and Co. again in the playoffs. Sunday night's loss left such a bad taste in Denver's mouth, I like the Broncos chances in a rematch in the playoffs. You know Peyton is pissed.

NATICK – Librarians are encouraging residents young and old alike to explore fantasy books next month, a genre they say is more than just something for children to enjoy.
For this year's Natick Reads, librarians at Morse Institute Library and Bacon Free Library hope residents tackle books by Neil Gaiman, who has written fantasy novels, short stories, graphic novels and children's stories. He has also written for film, television and other mediums.
Morse Institute Library Assistant Director Jane Finlay said Gaiman's variety of work makes him an ideal author for Natick Reads, an effort to encourage residents to read the same books and participate in related programs.
Morse will host a kickoff event from 2 to 4 p.m. March 1 on the library's lower level featuring a children's fantasy craft, a movie about a girl from a Gaiman book, fantasy games for all ages and graveyard photos.
Throughout the month of March, Morse will host book discussions and special events. Bacon Free Library is planning an adult-level discussion of Gaiman's book "Neverwhere" at 7 p.m. March 18 and a children's read-a-thon of "M is for Magic" at 10 a.m. March 15.
Finlay and Bacon Free Library director John Brisbin said the fantasy genre is something adults and children can both enjoy.
"We're all about celebrating reading in whatever way can," Brisbin said. "It's just great to have the town read together and discuss (the books) together."
For more information about Natick Reads events, visit morseinstitute.org or baconfreelibrary.net.

By Automobile Magazine
A new Limited Package, available only on certain trim levels, adds niceties such as heated leatherette seats, eighteen-inch wheels, and a backup camera. All Tacomas now come with a 6.1-inch color touch screen...more
Much like the 4Runner SUV, the Tacoma is the best product left in a segment other automakers have chosen to abandon or neglect. It's also pretty darn cool, especially in X-Runner guise, which has a lowered suspension and eighteen-inch wheels, as well as a standard six-speed manual transmission. For shoppers with more premium predilections, Toyota now offers a Limited Package with heated front seats, a leather-trimmed steering wheel, leatherette seating surfaces, a backup camera, and eighteen-inch wheels. At the other end of the spectrum, the Tacoma can be had as a basic work truck with a modest 159-hp four-cylinder engine paired with a five-speed manual. The 4.0-liter V-6 would likely be the best choice for most buyers, as it enables up to 6500 pounds of towing. Altogether, there are about two dozen body and trim combinations, but the basic lineup consists of the regular cab; the Access Cab, which has rear-hinged doors; and the Double Cab, with full-size rear doors, flexible rear seatbacks, and a storage unit behind the second row. The Tacoma has long faced competition from cheap full-size trucks, but its smaller size offers agility that those trucks can't match. Piloting a Tacoma around a crowded city is a refreshing reminder that not all pickups have to be monstrously oversized and difficult to park.
Front, side, and side curtain air bags; ABS; traction and stability control; trailer-sway control; and a tire-pressure monitoring system are standard. Backup sensors are optional.

Officer: 'So he shot the truck'10:00 am | April 23, 2013
A man who police say shot his own pickup truck multiple times in a populated Elizabethton neighborhood Monday faces reckless endangerment and other charges.
According to Elizabethton Police Department Patrol Officer Jordan Ensor, gunshots were reported Monday afternoon by residents on G and West H streets, and a silver Chevrolet truck was seen leaving the area by witnesses.
Responding officers found a man walking in the neighborhood, and reported finding a handgun magazine and a bullet in his pocket.
A few minutes later, Ensor said he spotted a truck matching the vehicles description on Stateline Road and pulled it over in the Betsytowne Shopping Center's parking lot.
Ensor said Kenneth Shelton was pulled from behind the wheel and a .40-caliber Ruger pistol was found by his side.
"Apparently, he bought the gun recently at a flea market and wanted to show it off to his friend, so he shot the truck," the officer said.

That's right folks, spring is here which means Easter is just around the corner. I love Easter. It is one of my favorite holidays.

It's looking like this weekend is shaping up to be the first real shot of spring weather we're going to get this year. As far as I'm concerned, this calls for a celebration. What better way is there to do that than by kicking back in a lawn chair, soaking up the sun and sipping on a refreshing spring beverage.

I don't know about you, but I need some help understanding what I'm seeing in the statistics and reports. For example, what is a "Sitting break"?
Sitting is defined as a continous consumption run of the e-learning content by a learner.
For e.g. a learner is said to have taken a "Sitting Break" if he pauses at say slide 10 for more than 20 mins.
This duration (20 mins in above e.g.) is called "Sitting timeout" and you can configure the duration in the preferences dialog (you can find the preferences button at the right top of the dashboard). You can find some of these descriptions in release notes on labs. (http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/captivate_course/captivate_cou rse_docs.pdf)
You can see the number of sitting breaks on any slide in the Sittings break report. If some slide is having maximum number of sitting breaks it is likely that learners are not understanding either that slide or the concept involving that slide.
Makes sense. Thanks.
Couple more questions. In the Preferences, is the Learner Count the expected number of students? What happens if the actual count exceeds that?
And in the Preferences, slide details, there is a column for Slide Title. It's showing all blank, even though some slides have labels, and I can't enter a slide title here. How is this supposed to work?
Learner count in preferences is the number of learners expected to take this course and it is used in calcuating the progress index.
If it is hugely inaccurate, the progress index calculations will be incorrect. There shouldnt be any issues if actual learners count is bigger than the specified learners count.
On the second part of your question, I suppose you want the title to be editable in preferences right? I will get back to you on this.
Adobe Captivate Team
Thanks Subra. As far as the slide title is concerned, at least show the slide label as entered in the .cptx file.

Catholics teach that the fear of god is a gift from the holy spirit.
Fear = Wisdom? Really?
I used to fear GOD. It was real to me and a constant source of stress. Perhaps when atheists speak of new found freedom, some of it is really the shedding of fear. Did you ever "FEAR the LORD? and if so, how did it feel to ditch that fear?
Views: 1519
Great response Professor! What insightful phrasing! Such powerful evidence behind your words... How have I not seen the light until this very moment!
I was blind, but now I see... the absolute worthlessness of every post you make.
I must say that out of all of the bullshit you spew on this forum, this post has got to be your best work yet. At least with your pathetic attempt to diminish my post, you have finally managed to type something other than your usual "no true Scotsman" argument.
Bravo, good sir! I would tip my hat to you if I would be wearing one. This is a great step forward for your communication skills.
Keep it up! One of these days you will manage to say something worth reading. Hopefully.
How do you know God isn't real?
Pretty much the same way you know Santa Claus isn't real.
Seriously, what's the difference, other than the local culture's peer pressure to get you to believe in their specific version of a Supernatural Father?
I don't know God isn't real. Until something happens that convinces me that there really is a deity, however, I will most likely not believe in one. I am not entirely against being convinced, either. What I think it would take, in the face of not having direct, personally-experienced proof, is a willing suspension of disbelief. This is just the same as what it takes to believe, say, Lord Voldemort or Snoopy the Dog is real long enough to enjoy the book/movie/comic strip in which he is featured.
I have done that when I read the Bible, just like I did it when I read The Deathly Hallows. I am an equal-opportunity disbeliever though. If Snoopy shows up on my porch or Voldemort flies up next to me on the highway, I will believe in them just as I would believe in a deity who manifested itself in my reality.
What I think happens to believers in a god is that the disbelief continues to be suspended and the fiction extends into real life even after the book has been put down. That's great if someone wants to do that, but what I get annoyed with is that then many believers then want others to do the same, or fly planes into buildings because of the fiction they believe. Believe whatever you want or need to believe, I say, I don't care what people believe. I care about what they do with that belief.
But we fear God because he's all powerful. He can do anything he wants to do and we are his creation so we are subject to him. that why we should fear his wrath. but he's loving too. Jesus died for us so we can have grace and be forgiven so now we dont need to fear him anymore.
Fearing someone because they're strong enough to do whatever they want to you is pretty much a solid example of an abusive relationship.
"Do what I say or I will hurt you." How is that healthy?
You only believe that crap because it was fed to you by your parents. Did you ever stop to consider that if you were born in India, Japan, or Iran you'd be spouting different nonsense? Religion is largely based on geography. You end up believing what people around you tell you to believe.
Get some "balls" and think for yourself.
All knowledge is socially mediated, don't you think?
If you grew up elsewhere, @Unseen, you no doubt would believe something else.
Does it necessarily follow that what you believe right now is wrong? Or that right now you're not thinking for yourself?
So, maybe only 2/3 of the world is wrong, because your 1/3 may be right?
(btw, I'm speaking of 1/3 of our world as Christian.)
I expect that two thirds of the world believes in "traditional" medicine instead of modern scientific medicine.
Does that mean that modern scientific medicine isn't right?
The number of atheists worldwide is much less than a third, but I think it's perfectly legitimate to consider the possibility that the atheists might be right!

Add a location widget for Google+ contacts
The recent update of Google+ to version 4.2 came with a handful of new features. The primary focus of the update was on photos -- both editing and sharing them -- but the update also added a location widget.
This Google+ Location widget gives you quick access to the whereabouts of friends or family from your Android Home screen. It's also a lot faster than navigating through the Google+ app, which involves: opening the app, going to Locations, opening the list of friends sharing their locations, and then finding the person whose location you want to see.

text: Medications for GERD ReliefIf you have frequent heartburn or acid indigestion, you may need medications for GERD — but finding the right one can be a challenge.By Jean RothmanMedically reviewed by Niya Jones, MD, MPHHeartburn can be a pain, literally. Fortunately, heartburn, a common symptom of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), can be treated with a number of effective medications. GERD is caused by stomach acid that flows up, or refluxes, into the esophagus, the tube that connects the mouth to the stomach. As a result, medications designed to treat GERD primarily target the effects of stomach acid and its production. Here's a look at the different kinds of GERD medications. GERD Medications: Antacids If your GERD-related heartburn is relatively mild, over-the-counter (OTC) antacids, such as Rolaids, Alka–Seltzer, Maalox, Mylanta, and Tums, among others, may be enough to give you relief. These medications help neutralize stomach acid, making it less irritating to the esophagus. Other antacids, such as Gaviscon, create a protective foam barrier that coats the stomach and helps discourage reflux. The potential side effects of antacids depend on the particular ingredients in the particular medicine. Antacids containing aluminum or calcium carbonate, for instance, may lead to constipation, while magnesium can cause diarrhea. Often, the ingredients in antacid medications are designed to balance each other out and minimize these side effects. If you find you are taking OTC antacids on a regular basis, talk to your doctor. No drug is without risk, and long-term antacid use has been linked to serious health problems. Your doctor can evaluate your symptoms and determine the best treatment approach for you. GERD Medications: Proton Pump Inhibitors When heartburn and other GERD symptoms become more severe, doctors often turn to the newest class of GERD medications, proton pump inhibitors, or PPIs. PPIs reduce how much acid is made in the stomach. Most PPIs are available only by prescription. They include: Omeprozole (Prilosec, Zegerid) Lansoprazole (Prevacid) Esomeprazole (Medium) Pantoprazole (Protonix) Rabeprazole (Cipher, Aciphex) Esomeprazole (Nexium) Prilosec can also be purchased in an OTC form. Research studies have shown that PPIs significantly alleviate GERD symptoms, and can also heal esophageal damage due to chronic acid reflux after just two months of treatment. Once the esophagus heals, however, it doesn't necessarily mean you should stop taking your GERD medication. "GERD is a chronic disease and often recurs if it isn't medically managed," says Eric Esrailian, MD, MPH, section head of the department of general gastroenterology at the University of California, Los Angeles. "Your doctor [will] likely try to taper you off the medication, but many people with severe GERD, especially those with hiatal hernia, will need to take lifelong medications." In general, studies have shown that the PPIs are all similarly effective in relieving GERD symptoms. This is good news for GERD patients whose insurance company will only cover certain PPI medications. "Since the PPIs are so similar, ask your doctor whether you can try whatever brand is in the [insurance company] formulary rather than having to pay out-of-pocket for a different one," advises Dr. Esrailian. Though side effects of PPIs are rare, some people may experience diarrhea and headaches as a result of these medications. GERD Medications: H2 Blockers GERD can also be treated with H2 receptor antagonists, or H2 blockers, which suppress acid production. This family of medications includes: Ranitidine (Zantac 75) Cimetidine (Tagamet HB) Famotidine (Pepcid AC) "Although H2 blockers are an older class of drugs than PPIs, they are still very effective," says Esrailian. In general, H2 blockers are also less expensive than PPIs. Some H2 blockers are sold over-the-counter, while others require a prescription. As with PPIs, H2 blocker side effects occur infrequently, but may include drowsiness, headache, and diarrhea. These medications can also interact dangerously with other medicines you may be taking, so do not take OTC H2 blockers for more than two weeks without consulting your doctor. It's also important not to try to manage GERD symptoms on your own, since you may end up masking another condition that requires medical attention. GERD is a common problem, but fortunately, it can be successfully treated. Talk to your doctor about which medications will work best for you.

"There are times when I don't vote on an amendment because I just couldn't figure it out," admits Browder, a former Congressman and retired Jacksonville State University professor of political science.
Browder and other Alabama voters will hunker down in the next few days to try to make sense of the 11 amendments to the Alabama Constitution before the election Tuesday. Those amendments — oh, and there's a 12th amendment, to be voted on only in Calhoun County — are the fine print you'll see when you finish voting for candidates and turn your ballot over.
Some Alabamians don't even bother to vote on those. And for those who consider it a civic duty, wading through the ballot wording can be a chore. Browder says he sits down with a sample ballot the night before the vote to research each measure and make up his mind. He advises others to do the same.
"I wouldn't want to go into the polling place and try to figure everything out there," he said.
JSU political science professor Lori Owens said she turns to the League of Women Voters, which produces an issues guide with summaries of each measure on the ballot.
"They do a very good job of presenting what will happen if each amendment passes and if each amendment fails, without a lot of bias," she said.
With two days left until the vote, The Star has put together a brief guide to the amendments, based on our own reporting (for local and truly statewide measures) and accounts in other media (for votes affecting other counties.)
If approved, this amendment would extend Forever Wild, a program that uses state oil and gas revenues to buy undeveloped land for use as public parks and preserves. The program was originally approved by voters in 1992, but with a 20-year time limit.
PRO: Supporters of the amendment say Forever Wild has been one of the state's most popular programs. It's responsible for the creation of public wilderness areas like Coldwater Mountain's bike trails. Supporters say those areas bring in tourist dollars and more than make up for the money spent on the program.
CON: Opponents of the amendment tend to agree that Forever Wild is a worthy program, but think new land acquistions could be put on hold until economic conditions and state revenues improve.
Years ago, legislators voted to give the state the authority to issue up to $750 million in bonds, to pay for infrastructure improvements designed to lure new industry. But they didn't give the state the authority to refinance those bonds. Since the economic downtown, interest rates have been much lower than before 2008, and state leaders say refinancing the bonds could free up about $130 million.
PRO: Supporters say new jobs could depend on the measure. They note that it costs tens of millions of dollars to recruit a major industry like Airbus, which recently announced a plan to build a plant in Mobile. And the state has already issued $720 million in bonds, leaving only $30 million before the state reaches its limit.
CON: Opponents liken the measure to debt-limit increases at the federal level, noting that the measure will give the state more incentive to borrow money. Some have also criticized the amendment because it doesn't specify where future bond money would be spent.
According to the League of Women Voters and Associated Press accounts, this amendment would give the Baldwin County city of Stockton "landmark district" designation, which would prevent it from being forcibly annexed into another city by an act of the Legislature.
PRO: Stockton would be protected from any future outside takeover, and would retain the right to vote to voluntarily annex if residents choose to.
CON: It's not clear whether any substantial opposition to this amendment has arisen.
This amendment would remove passages of the Alabama Constitution that demand segregated schools and a poll tax. Those passages were superceded by U.S. Supreme Court decisions and federal laws a half-century ago, but proponents say erasing them from the state's governing document would help Alabama repair its reputation.
A similar amendment failed in 2004, after some conservatives objected to the fact that it removed passages that state Alabamians have "no right to education." Without the no-right provision, opponents maintained, judges would be able to dictate school spending.
The 2012 version of the bill leaves the "no right to education" wording in place. Some say it effectively reinstates that wording, after it was struck down in a state court, but there's some disagreement about the exact effect the "no right" wording would have.
PRO: The stakes for Alabama's reputation are twice as high this time, supporters say. With conservatives' concerns addressed in the new bill, the argument goes, Alabama can't afford to be seen as voting for segregation once again.
CON: This time it's some black political leaders and education policymakers — including the Alabama Education Association — who oppose the amendment. They note that the "no right to education" wording also has racist origins. The "no right" wording was passed in 1956, by lawmakers who said it was a way to preserve segregation.
This amendment would dissolve the Water Works and Sewer Board in the city of Prichard and give its assets to the Mobile Water Works.
PRO: According to the League of Women voters, supporters believe the switch will lead to lower water rates in the long run.
CON: Opponents say it's not clear that water rates will go down, and they have expressed concern about the potential loss of jobs for those now working at the Prichard water board.
Based almost word-for-word on a similar amendment in Arizona, the amendment purports to ban any attempt to require people to buy health insurance — wording that, if enforced, would block implementation of a key provision of President Barack Obama's health care reform plan.
The amendment is unlikely to have any real teeth. It was written more than a year before the U.S. Supreme Court upheld most of the Affordable Care Act, including the insurance-buying mandate. Legal and policy experts say the point is largely moot now.
PRO: For people who just don't like health care reform, it's a chance to give the Obama Administration a bloody nose. Of course, Obama himself is on the ballot Nov. 6 as well.
CON: Experts say the law would likely still apply to the state, and could gum things up if, say, a university decided to require its students to have health insurance.
Widely touted as the "secret ballot" amendment, this measure would ensure that voting is done by secret ballot for "public office, public votes on referenda or votes on employee representation."
It's that last bit — about employee representation — that really matters. No one is proposing an end to ballot secrecy in state elections, but business leaders and organized labor have been at each others' throats for years over a union organizing method known as "card check." In a card check, workers can start the unionizing process if a majority of workers sign cards saying they want to form a union. There's usually a secret-ballot vote after the card check — but this amendment would ban the card-check step on the grounds that it isn't secret.
PRO: Supporters say the secret ballot is the standard for the democratic process everywhere. They say the non-secret nature of card check can lead to intimidation of workers who don't want to unionize.
CON: Opponents of the measure say the opposite. It's employers who hold the power to intimidate, they say, and card check has been a federally approved method of pushing for a union vote for decades.
Several years ago, lawmakers increased their own pay by 62 percent — and increased public criticism of the Legislature sevenfold. The pay raise, enacted shortly before the 2008 economic crash, included yearly cost-of living increases, raising current legislative pay to more than $50,000 per year in 2012.
Amendment 8 would change the pay system so that lawmakers are paid the median household income for Alabama. It's a pay cut, but only by about $7,200.
PRO: The amendment's supporters see it as a kind of accountability system. If Alabamians get richer, lawmaker pay goes up. And because pay is indexed to median income, legislators can't go in and vote themselves another 62 percent boost.
CON: Legislators say there are lots of hidden costs in their job, including the cost of driving constantly to meet people in their districts. If the cost of serving exceeds the pay, they say, only well-to-do people will be able to serve. The amendment does allow for per diem when lawmakers are in Montgomery, and some lawmakers think their colleagues will milk that system for additional cash.
AMENDMENTS 9 and 10: CORPORATIONS AND BANKS
Amendment 9 would rewrite the Alabama Constitution's article on corporations, and Amendment 10 would rewrite the article on banking.
The amendments are the first changes to come out of the Constitutional Review Commission, a group tasked with rewriting Alabama's massive constitution, article by article. But they're less a complete write-though than a blue-pencil edit, striking out century-old wording about telegraphs, the gold standard and rule changes for businesses existing in 1901, when the Alabama Constitution was written.
PRO: Advocates of the amendment say that even though much of the old wording is unenforceable, it's an embarrassment. What's more, these two amendments are touted as the start of a long-awaited reform of the entire constitution.
CON: Critics of the amendments say they were rushed through both houses relatively quickly. The last time the state did major constitutional revision — a complete rewrite of the judicial article — the need was glaring and the process took months. At least one lawmaker said he's worried about unforeseen consequences from the changes, though he couldn't name specific problems with the amendment.
This measure would prohibit cities entirely outside of Lawrence County from imposing fees or regulations within Lawrence County. According to the Public Affairs Research Council of Alabama, the city of Decatur has police jurisdiction that stretches into Lawrence County.
PRO: According to the Decatur Daily, some Lawrence County residents think the measure would keep Decatur from imposing regulations there without political repercussions.
CON: The Daily editorialized against the amendment, saying that public safety services from Decatur could help the area attract industry.
If voters approve this amendment, the job of processing absentee ballots would be placed in the hands of the Calhoun County Commission. At present, absentee ballots are processed by the Circuit Clerk's Office, and under state law, the circuit clerk gets roughly $8,000 in extra pay for each election. Most counties operate under a system similar to Calhoun County's.
PRO: Supporters of the measure say the county can do the job more cheaply. If other counties follow suit, the change could save the state lots of money, they say.
CON: Circuit Clerk Ted Hooks says the processing of ballots is complicated and could be something the county is not prepared to take on. (Hooks is retiring and won't be affected whether the amendment passes or fails.)

Itching is a tingling or irritation of the skin that makes you want to scratch the affected area. Itching may occur all over the whole body or only in one location.
Itching may occur all over the whole body (generalized) or only in one location (localized).
There are many causes of itching, including:
Generalized itching may be caused by:
For persistent or severe itching, see your health care provider for a diagnosis and treatment instructions.
In the meantime, you can take some steps to help deal with the itch:
Call your doctor or nurse if you have itching and:
Most itching does not require medical evaluation. Look for an obvious cause of itching at home.
It is sometimes easy for a parent to find the cause of a child's itching. Looking closely at the skin will help you identify any bites, stings, rashes, dry skin, or irritation. Often the cause of itching is fairly obvious, such as a mosquito bite.
Have the itching checked out as soon as possible if it keeps returning and does not have an obvious cause, you have total body itching, or you have hives that keep returning. Unexplained itching may be a symptom of a disease that could be serious.
Your doctor or nurse will examine you and ask questions about your medical history and symptoms.
